Eighteen years after he was fired from Guns N' Roses for excessive drug use, drummer Steven Adler is finally checking into rehab - TV's Celebrity Rehab, that is.
On the fourth season of the VH-1 series, Adler will attempt toget clean under the tutelage of Dr Drew Pinsky and actor Gary Busey.
As on previous seasons, Adler will participate in a behavior modification program and take part in group therapy with other drug-and-alcohol-plagued celebrities. And this next batch is a colorful gang indeed: Grease star Jeff Conaway, Rod Stewart's son Sean, former Whitesnake video vixen Tawny Kitaen, and Rodney King (whose 1991 beating by Los Angeles police led to deadly rioting).
VH-1 hasn't specified what substance (or substances) problem Adler is seeking treatment for. In 1996 he suffered a stroke after taking a speedball of heroin and cocaine.
